Samsung Q1

Introduction

This is a guide to running Linux with the Samsung Q1 laptop.

This guide is intended to provide you details on how well this laptop works with Linux and which modules you need to configure. For details on how to actually install and configure the required modules have a look at our guides section for distribution specific instructions.

Notes

You can use a USB Optical drive to install Linux on this laptop (as it does not come with one as standard).

Some recent Linux distributions not longer requires the following but most still do. As default the native screen resolution of this notebook is 800×480, however due to the way the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 functions this resolution would not be usable right away. To get it working you will need to install the 915resolution program and type in:
915resolution 3c 800 480
This will then allow you to use the native 800×480 resolution. However this setting will be forgotten after each boot so you will need a way to automatically run this command at every boot. Fortunately most Linux distributions come with the 915resolution program and include a simple way of achieving this. You can view our Configuring the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 & 950 guide for more information.

This wireless controller in this laptop does not have any native drivers for Linux so you will need to use the ndiswrapper module. For installation instructions, you can view our Configuring the ndiswrapper module guide. The windows driver to use with ndiswrapper can be found here.

Summary

While the tablet works fine under Linux, the software isn't really there to take maximum advantage of it. The need to use ndiswrapper is also a negative point for this laptop. It is recommended to use a Linux distribution with kernel version 2.6.17 or greater, such as Fedora Core 6 or Ubuntu 6.10.

I yearn to assume across my enjoyment in the amenities of your kind-heartedness for persons that bid assistance with your question. Your verified commitment to getting the communication up and down became extraordinarily usable and has on all occasions encouraged professionals well-grounded like me to convince to their objectives. This valuable hints and tips can in no way this much to me and motionlessly more to my colleagues. Thanks a from every one of us.

XEvil 4.0 is a revolutionary application that can bypass almost any anti-botnet protection.
Captcha Recognition Google (ReCaptcha-1, ReCaptcha-2), Facebook, BING, Hotmail, Yahoo,
Yandex, VKontakte, Captcha Com - and over 8.4 million other types!

You read this - it means it works! ;)
Details on the official website of XEvil.Net, there is a free demo version.

This will then allow you to use the native 800×480 resolution. However this setting will be forgotten after each boot so you will need a way to automatically run this command at every boot. Fortunately most Linux distributions come with the 915resolution program and include a simple way of achieving this.

I had trouble rebuilding any linux with a nonPAE kernel, so I took a shortcut - I downloaded a torrent. I wanted to create a wireless bridge/repeater with my own specifications:

Management interface would be avail only by the Host OS. Then I would have NAT based Dual Wireless WAN(Wireless and WIFI) to Dual Wireless LAN and Ethernet LAN.
A Small 40 GB Web Cache, proxy based
I will have the VGA port to a larger monitor
I will have an intranet based web form on the Q1 CF card for complaints.

I'm hoping to learn to implement PFsense and the raw power of Kali on this little Samsung Q1.

Just verified that Kali-Linux and both Debian 6 & 7 need PAE, that the Pentium M Samsung Q1 doesnt have.

I installed Arch Linux on Samsung Q1 and it runs flawlessly.But i have just one problem - i cant control screen brightness.

Maybe you have any solution for screen brightness?

All works out-of-the-box but keys.I binded some keys:U1 - run /usr/bin/gmrunU2 - TABU4 - ESCU3 - ALT+F4← - ENTERBelow ”←” (ENTER) there is one key i have RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON on it.On left side i have ALT.

Volume keys also works, i binded it and made a script increasing/decreasing volume.
